IOU1 Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I am getting rid of my two electric labidos as I have purchased albino koi swordtails, but was wondering if they need to go quickly or no hurry. The tank is approx 90L and the labidos are only about 6-7 cm. I see the real occasional quick nip during feeding but the swordtail then takes shelter away from it. One of the male swordtails have a slight rip on its top fin, but I could have purchased it or it may have been attacked by another male when introduced in the tank. Please help tell me if they need to be moved urgently, they are currently listed on here for offers but a couple of people are interested but can't come up here for a while. I would hate the swordtails to die on me, they are rather expensive. Any suggestions would be great!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpontin Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Jonathan - if I was you I would keep the Swords in a single species tank! Especially when trying to breed! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Hi Matt, I am going to have this tank set up just for the swords. the electric labidos are existing members of the tank and I am selling them at the moment, but was wondering if they would be OK for a couple of days. There is plenty of room and the labidos are going ASAP. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpontin Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 as long as you have room and plenty of plants - and of course everyone is well fed - should be OK as a temporary measure. Good trick with those Swords is also regular water changes - I do a 20% change a few times per week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
